Rainy days are perfect for staying in and having fun! Whether you’re looking for something romantic or just plain silly, these ideas will keep you entertained and happy. When was the last time you had an at home date night on a rainy day?
Raining or not, we always suggest a good date night weekly. If this is too much for you and your significant other, then try bi-weekly. The reason we preach for consistent date nights is that by spending time with your significant other, you’ll be able to build a strong relationship.
You may be able to grow in ways that you never imagined and if you consistently come up with different ideas, your creative date nights will allow you to deepen the love with your partner.
That being said, let’s get into it – we have a few fun rainy day date ideas and some romantic date night ideas as well.
Romantic at Home Date Night Ideas for Rainy Days
At home date night ideas for rainy days don’t have to be boring! Check out our suggestions below:
Cook a Gourmet Dinner Together
Cooking can be a really fun and enjoyable experience when you’re cooking together. Pick out your favorite recipe or try a new one and open up a bottle of wine. If you opted for an Italian Dinner, make sure to set the stage – play some Italian music and make sure to have a great time with lots of laughter.
Here you’ll find a Tasty Video that has 4 different Romantic Dinners that you can cook at home! Cooking is always on the list of ideas for date night but when you cook a Tasty recipe, you’ll kick it up a notch.
Watch Funny YouTube/Tik Tok Videos Together
There’s nothing better than laughing together and YouTube has unlimited content. There’s something for everyone – from watching funny cat videos together or watching family feud, you won’t run out of videos to watch.
Laughter is one of the key ingredients for a date night success.
Try a Home Sake Tasting
This one is so fun! Usually, people opt in for a wine tasting but switch it up and do a sake tasting. We also suggest ordering sushi or making sushi at home together! You can even try out sake bombs by pairing sake with a Sapporo.
Set up an At Home Spa Night
The at home spa date night is always a winner! When we mean spa date night, we mean the head-to-toe treatment. Get out the face masks, grab some robes, and start the feet masks. You can easily make your own face masks or order some online in advance.
This date idea will allow you to relax and pamper each other together.
Book Couples Massages
In some cities, you can order the service to come to your house. If you’re looking to spend a bit more money on date night, this is a wonderful idea. You don’t have to leave the house and the massage therapists will come to you!
Write Each Other Love Notes
This is a unique to express your love for each other. Not only will you feel great about getting a love note, you’ll also feel more connected to your partner after you list out the reasons why you love them. If writing letters isn’t your style, something cute like a poem or drawing is another idea.
If that’s still not up your alley, write cute notes to each other on sticky notes and hide them around the house.
Paint and Drink Wine
You don’t need to be Picasso to have a good time. All you need is a photo to use for example, some paints, canvases, and some pinot.
Painting is so amazing because you’ll be able to see the creative abilities that you each hold. You’ll be painting the same portrait but odds are, your paintings will look very different.
Read Each Other’s Birth Charts
Birth charts are so eye-opening and they may create a really great conversation. When you learn about each other and talk about your characteristics, it will allow you to bond in new ways.
Sometimes birth charts will be extremely accurate!
Write a Bucket List Together with 100 Things
This might take a while but the 100 things you write down do not need to be super elaborate. One example could be – spending one Sunday in pajamas all day long. Another could be – to travel to ten new countries together.
Keep the bucket list around and use it for future dates.
Explore a New Location Virtually
You might not be able to have a fun date night outside because it’s raining but you can visit a new place virtually! Rome is a great example of a place to explore – you can actually go through a little tour and learn about Rome here.
This is a great idea paired with the at-home Italian dinner. You can also tour Mexico City and many other beautiful places through his site!
Do Yoga for Couples
You don’t need to be a Yogi to enjoy this fun date night activity. If you don’t know where to start, check out this video to get an idea of how you can flow together.
You’d be surprised at how yoga for couples can create a new bond! You’ll feel better physically and you’ll experience a fun way to connect with each other.
Make Each Other a Spotify Playlist
We used to make mix tapes and burned CDs and now it’s playlists. This one is so special because you can curate a playlist for your partner that reminds you of songs you’ve listened to together, songs that make you think of them, and other fun songs that you want to dance to.
Play your playlist for your partner and listen to the playlist they made for you.
Learn How to Salsa Together
If you want to spice up your relationship, salsa is the answer! When is the last time you learned a new dance and better yet, when is the last time you learned a new dance with a partner?
The youtube video here will help you learn how to salsa together. Don’t be worried about being embarrassed, you and your partner will spend time laughing and loving the new dance moves.
Build a Fort and Add Candles
Forts bring us back to childhood – fun memories and carefree living. It will be so special to experience this side of your partner and you can make it super aesthetic. Add some string lights, grab some comfy pillows, and hang with your lover.
Bake Your Favorite Desserts and Eat Dessert First
Think of a bake off but you bake your favorite dessert! Bake two desserts – one that is your favorite and then one that is your partner’s favorite dessert. Eat dessert first and then have a dinner of your choice.
This is fun because you can also act like food critics. See whose dessert has the best flavor.
Other Fun and Note-Worthy Ideas for Rainy Day Dates
We have some other cute date night ideas that are also fun but might not qualify as romantic. These at home date night ideas will help you forget that it’s raining outside. At-home date night ideas for rainy days can also be less serious!
Start a Nerf War
When was the last time you played with nerf guns? If you’re looking to get a little more active than a movie night, a nerf war is a fun option. Sometimes it turns into a long game of hide and seek but you can guarantee there will be laughter and fun.
Try Indoor Camping
If you have a fireplace, get out the graham crackers and marshmallows because you can make s’mores. To create the best ambiance, put on a video of a campfire and you can even dim the lights.
If you want to try out some new s’mores recipes, try Reese’s peanut butter cups instead of graham crackers!
Sign up for an Airbnb Experience
Airbnb isn’t only for staying in cool places. They now offer many immersive services and experiences over Zoom. There are a few different categories. Magic, entertainment, and music are just a few categories that you can choose from.
Learn a Language Together
There are tons of apps at your fingertips that will allow you to learn a new language from home. From Duo Lingo to Rosetta Stone, this could even be a last-minute unplanned date night.
Additionally, if you have a trip coming up, you can learn the native language. If you don’t have any trips coming up, pick a language of your choice, learn it, and then plan a trip to the location where this language is spoken.
Plan a Weekend Trip Together
Now that you’re learning new languages together, you’ll want to put them to use! If you can’t agree on a location, shut your eyes and point at a map. This is an easy way to create something to look forward to.
Some other great tips for this date are: use a pinterest board, start looking up cool restaurants, and book the coolest place you can.
We are sure there are some old shirts laying around and creating a tie-dye shirt is a great way to upcycle your clothing. If you don’t want to tie-dye a shirt, try out a hoodie, shoes, or a tote bag.
Listen to a Podcast
One suggestion that we have is to listen to the podcast of a comedian. It might be rare that you get a date night and if you spend it laughing, it will raise your spirits and allow you and your partner to relax.
If comedy isn’t for you, you can always opt for a true crime podcast or a motivational podcast.
Themed Movie Night
When we say themed movie night, we don’t mean cuddling on the couch and scrolling for Netflix for 30 minutes. We mean – plan the movie, dress up, and make the movie snacks so they can work with your theme.
We love a ratatouille theme but other movie night themes to consider are: movie sports nights, star wars, or Godfather. If you’re going with the movie sports night theme, you can easily Doordash Wings, pizza, and other apps.
Set Up an In Home Garden
You don’t have to leave the house to get plants sent to you. Amazon has tons of options for different hydroponics growing setups.
You’ll be able to watch your plants/herbs/vegetables/fruits grow year around and the air in your home will be much cleaner. Set up your garden together and watch the plants grow.
